Geno - A ten-year old Italian Greyhound

Foster with Intent to Adopt Needed in the PA, NY, & NJ area

Geno is a ten-year old, male Italian Greyhound who will be entering the care of Italian Greyhound Place. His owner passed away recently and he needs a new home, which is being coordinated by the owner's son and daughter-in-law (basically the current owners) - they live in an apartment that does not allow dogs. Their preference is that he go to a foster with the intent to adopt (a foster who plans to adopt the dog) to keep transitions at a minimum.

The previous owner had Geno since he was a puppy. Geno is described as skittish with a tendency to tremble, but is very affectionate and sweet; he will snuggle and put his head on his person’s chest. Until the owner developed health conditions during the past two years, she would walk Geno in her neighborhood and it is desired that Geno have the opportunity to enjoy being outside with his new owner.

Geno is housetrained to use puppy pads, but sometimes urinates off the pads – right near them, but also on carpeting in the house. He definitely needs someone patient and tolerant of accidents and willing to work with him in a positive manner regarding his housetraining.

He also needs a cat-free home and the request is for him to be the only dog. Regarding barking, the daughter-in-law indicated that he will bark when he hears something outside, when someone enters/exits the house, and when someone is eating and he wants "people" food. Geno is okay traveling by car, is not crate trained and is accustomed to having someone primarily home.
